The Minerals, Lands and Policy Division promotes mineral exploration and development by maintaining a geoscience database, and administering the disposition of metallic and industrial mineral claims on Crown lands.

The Saskatchewan Ministry of the Economy also manages its mineral resources through the administration of royalty and tax systems, and collecting and maintaining production and sales information.

This program implements the process for the long term management of decommissioned mine/mill properties on Crown land once a site owner has ended mining/milling activities, completed decommissioning and reclamation and makes application to transfer the remediated site into provincial custody.
